there is a pocket star trek novel i can't find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called "a stitch in time". for some reason they won't reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don't personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).

Hi! I was looking for shampoo brands from the EU. Mostly Big Name brands that since I live in Brazil and I want to be sure I can find these in the supermarket. (I could be buying from Brazilian brands also, but I feel like supporting the EU against the global Trump menace since they are more able to oppose him. Also most made-in-Brazil brands are not affordable for me). We are able to find most reasonably big brands here, we just can't find more niche ones. Any type of shampoo will do, I have very short hair and anything I use in it looks good lol

EDIT: I should have thought about this before, but I just found out L'Oréal is an affordable alternative I can find in here :)

I heard J.K. Rowling is actively looking to make people forget about the old cast bc they are supportive of trans rights.

Artists, merch sellers, and journalists making and posting Luigi media have become the targets of bogus DMCA claims.

Well, someone murdered the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and it is alleged that this guy named Luigi Mangione did it. The media went into a frenzy trying to make us hate Luigi, but since most Americans experience what is like to live under a system that treats healthcare as a way to make profits, nobody did. They even tried framing this as a left x right issue instead of a class issue but even many people on the right didn't think Luigi did anything wrong. Luigi is also a conventionally attractive dude, so it's hard for the media to play with people's preexisting prejudices. After many attempts, they seem to have decided the best approach to this was to suppress all speech on the matter. They are trying to frame this murder as an act of terrorrism and seem to be very scared of the public response to this. Reddit is trying to ban any mention to Luigi (even Nintendo related ones), and also has banned many people who did as little as upvote a comment related to him.

Kind of a lot 😅

You mean you weren't familiarised with the Luigi Mangione story?

hi OP! I love that you wrote these instructions, they are going to help a lot of new users!

however, a significant number of people, including artists such as myself, wouldn't feel comfortable about the use of AI art on this post :(

I'd be willing to replace this same image with original art for free if you'd like! as a small way to contribute to this community. would you be insterested in that? maybe my original take on the image you used for this post or something else that you prefer.

feel free to DM me if you're interested ✌🏻

If you do decide to cancel your Paramount+ subscription after hearing about this (as I did), just remember to write how you feel about this decision when they ask you that you comment your reason for doing this 🙂
